CLOUD SERVICES

Why Cloud computing is the way ahead?

Cloud computing has completely revolutionized the technology and business scenes today.

Cloud Computing leverages the power of various other technologies like mobility, big data, and advanced analytics and enhance their operations.

Overview

Cloud services are infrastructure, platforms, or software that are hosted by third-party providers and made available to users through the internet. Cloud services facilitate the flow of user data from front-end clients (e.g., users’ servers, tablets, desktops, laptops—anything on the users’ ends), through the internet, to the provider’s systems, and back. Cloud services promote the building of cloud-native applications and the flexibility of working in the cloud. Users can access cloud services with nothing more than a computer, operating system, and internet connectivity.

Three Major Domains of Cloud computing services
Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)
The most basic domain of cloud computing services is Infrastructure-as-a-service(IaaS). With Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS), you can rent IT infrastructures which are of paramount importance in running your company like servers, virtual machines (VMs), storage, networks, and operating systems. These infrastructures are provided by a cloud computing player on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Software as a service (SaaS)
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a method for delivering software applications over the Internet, on demand and typically on a subscription basis. With SaaS, cloud providers host and manage the software application and underlying infrastructure and handle all kinds of maintenance, like software upgrades and security patching. Users can connect to the application over the Internet, usually with a web browser on their phone, tablet or PC.
Platform as a service (PaaS)
PPlatform-as-a-service (PaaS) refers to cloud computing services that supply an on-demand environment for developing, testing, delivering and managing software applications. PaaS is designed to make it easier for developers to quickly create web or mobile apps, without worrying about setting up or managing the underlying infrastructures like servers, storage, network and databases.
